Abstract

To operate reliably in environments where interaction with an operator is infrequent or undesirable, an autonomous system should be capable of both determining how to achieve its objectives and adapting to novel circumstances on its own. We have developed an approach to constructing autonomous systems that synthesise tasks from high-level goals and adapt their software architecture to perform these tasks reliably in a changing environment. This paper presents our approach through a detailed case study, highlighting the challenges involved.
